That’s hard to say because it’s not just her acting but also the film that she was in. I think at some point, if she was given a role where she could stretch her acting muscles and tap into her inner thespian, she couldve. No doubt that for the movies she did appear in, she was very good.
Saucy Hooman no. She was able to finish all her scenes. The only thing they needed to do was re dub some of her lines. And that's where her brother Rashad comes in 💕💔
It's interesting to hear her brother say he enjoys watching her movies, videos, & listening to her music because she loved her work and enjoyed what she did. I never thought about it like that. For the longest I couldn't watch or listen to anything Aaliyah related cause it just brought back all the memories of how she died and her being gone. I still have a hard time watching or listening to Rock the Boat.
It's 2017 and I still feel this way....for the longest time, I couldn't listen/ it hurt to listen to any of her songs, especially 'rock the boat' & 'miss you'. But I love her music so much, I feel empty not hearing her beautiful music....so I listen to 'rock the boat' all most daily and can not bring myself to remove the song from my playlist. MISS YOU SO MUCH BABYGIRL!!
Wow...I'm happy to see I'm not alone. I couldn't watch or listen to "Rock the Boat" for some time. I was 12 when she passed, but I think I repressed my feelings, since I couldn't make sense of everything. Now that I'm having an "Aaliyah Video Binge" after watching "Surviving R. Kelly", my 30 year old self is able to procress things better. I was able to have a good grieving process.
I love the fact that Aaliyah mentions being in love with the "dark side" . We _all_ have that side of ourselves that we feel we need to hide, that side that revels in things we dare not reveal. I have one major gripe about this film, though. It greatly simplified Akasha's motives in the novel. In the book, throughout the almost six thousand years of her being a "living statue", Akasha had, through the Mind Gift (i.e. telepathy) experienced life through the minds of countless mortals and immortals across the globe. Such was her incredible power. She witnessed the abuse, wars and unhappiness caused by men, and as such, when she "awakened", her plan was to kill most of the human male population in an effort to put an end to the misery that had engulfed the world for millennia. How you interpret that position is entirely subjective - that's the beauty of Akasha's arguments as well the very grounded counter arguments of the vampires who defied her. Granted, Akasha wanted to rule over the Earth as the "Queen of Heaven", and be worshipped as such, so her royal mindset was definitely not lost during the almost six thousand years she remained dormant. I wish they had explored that more in the film. Akasha did a beautiful job as the film's version of Akasha, though.
The world lost such a wonderfully talented young woman. The future was hers. Thusly, ours as well in that we would benefit from her music and film. R.I.P. Aaliyah!
@@lamarization Seriously! Why do people keep comparing them? It's not even close, in my opinion... Selena was a really good looking chick, but she's got nothing on Aaliyah...
MAN SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL, it's 2017 and I still can't believe that she's gone. No she isn't, never, we are here, we still love her, we remember the girl, the fantastic singer, this beautiful black woman (stunning) with the voice of an angel and gifted with so much talent. Aaliyah I'm sure, and I understand, that god wanted you by his side. Rest in peace my angel
omg I've never seen a lot of these clips!! Thanks for uploading, I subscribed. I never actually liked the film, I found it quite boring, but whenever Aaliyah came on scene she basically saved it, and the carnage scene is one of the best entrances I've seen.
+ally d stay in your lane, i was speaking for the majority, u and the minority Group of. anne rice who ever she, stay mad. and u must be a fan as well why else would u be watching this video. and u big and bad behind a fucking phone or keyboard if u want say shit to my face dont say it here. u are dismissed.
you go eat shit, do you think just because you are "majority" following a singer you can insult a writer like that? go eat shit and listen to your rapper while I read good books. You stay in your lane and shut the fuck up
"she was the only reason anyone watched it." Those were your insulting words. If you don't want to be trolled, DO NOT TROLL. And come kill me if you want me to shut up, you looked for it then STAND IT as a "man" you are, not offering your needle harassing as you also did.
+Doja Cat no offense i love it but its something i cant put my finger on about her its like she knew she wasnt gonna be here long so if u look in all of her pics and interviews you'll see that she looks completely different like she aged fast since she was in her early 20s at the time
@@AndreyaWryght from some reports about the plane crash I read that she had a weak heart, I noticed the last months of her life she looked really thin and tired for some reason when she was done filming this role she looked a little sick, still beautiful I just wish she was careful about some of the people she was around and hopefully played her cards right when she was here.
I miss her so much🥺 I literally think about her almost daily & have watched this movie 3 days in a row now. She was SO genuine! So REAL! Her music was beautiful! Her acting was SO GOOD! Just imagine what more she would’ve done within cinema & music 🥺😭❤️🙏🏼
She was so gorgeous. I was born in 1992 so didn’t have the chance to really grow up with her and her music. But this was one of my favorite movies growing up because it was one of the first rated R movies I had seen. RIP lovely and let your energy be continuous through this universe
@Joyce Williams I didn't miss the point I understand what she's saying but my point is most men don't want to submit to their mate. Even if it's a Queen. And yes Lestat is a lesser vampire I don't understand why Akasha even wanted Lestat it's like Beyonce wanting Jay Z 😂😂😂.
His reasoning in the movie for killing her was trash compared to his reasoning in the book. They messed up bad trying to force that romantic relationship between Jessie and Lestat. I guess that was the only way they could tie it all together in such a short time frame.
@@cu5864 I can't believe they made Lestat sexy vampire but they made him have bad taste picking this boring human woman. And they made a vampire Queen pick a lesser vampire in love with a human Everybody in this movie had bad taste in finding lovers 🙄🙄🙄
@@Firespawnable Lol. Right? I actually really liked Jessie in the book. She had depth...all of them did. They were committed to their beliefs in the book and in the movie they were too busy trying to be sexy vampires. I still liked the movie but compared to the book it was an disappointing failure.
The only good thing this film has worked with was Aaliyah. I hated this adaptation but this beautiful and talented young woman has played Akasha perfectly. Just as I imagined, too bad that the rest of the film was such an awful quality :( It lets her shine,though
Exactly. The movie quality is the equivalent of something out of the early 90s, it's so odd. Plus the movie hardly focused on the story and instead danced off into more foolish parts only to get into the story.
Lady Ruby as for people who say aaliyah and Whitney and left eye are in hell? i disagree with that JESUS CHRIST didn't die and come back to life so thier souls can remain in hell no. when Jesus got up aaliyah Whitney and everyone who fell they rose with Jesus in the spirit realm.so never be quick yo assume were someone's soul is.
I Was 12 Years Old When This Movie Came Out & I Only Wanted To Watch It Because Of Aaliyah But Was Sad To See That She Was Hardly in It Because I Loved Her So Much As Ah Kid But She Did Ah GREAT Job! Still Have The VHS Lol R.I.Paradise AALIYAH ♡ Still Love Her To This Day!
Yes indeed he is 😍😏. I wonder what he is doing now. Is he still doing behind the scenes work cuz I know when his twin died I could tell that was gonna change him forever I just hope he continued to do what he was great at. I know when Aaliyah died alot of them fell off with there music and life especially timberland but now his back killing the game again and he no longer is on drugs I'm so proud of him.
Great job Miss Aaliyah she really got into character and was great as far as the acting went I honestly dont see why people didn't care for the movie ... oh well that's just my personal opinion
I wish Akasha/Aaliyah was in more of the film. I think that's one of the reasons it didn't do as well as it could have (the directing and dialogue could have been better). It's called the "Queen of The Damned" I don't see how it made any sense for The Queen to only be in half of the film.
necro post but.. as i understood it, she was meant to have more scenes but died before completion , hence the small amount of her in the actual movie :(
+ndaemon1718 Nah that had nothing to do with it :/ filming was from late 2000 to early 2001 … it's just a poorly written and produced movie unfortunately. Not utilising Aaliyah's talents more is just an example of them fucking it up. Anne Rice who wrote the books hates it.
John Arundell well i dont liek anne rice's books myself. they are dreary and long winded. to me the movie was perfect, tho ofcourse mroe Aaliyah couldnt hurt :). But it comes down to taste ofcourse.. some love this movie.. some dont. thats how it will always be :)
Actually, both explanations here are wrong! She had few scenes and shot time because the movie, despite having her name (the queen of the damned), is a compilation of two different titles by Anne Rice. Therefore, only from the middle of the movie on was the part based on the proper QOTD novel.
...the accent is a dialect of a language called COPTIC...ancient... the gentleman that taught her...taught quite A few people for movies...the MUMMY FRANCHISE....THE TOM CRISE VERSION ALSO...AND THE MKVIE STARGATE...the gentleman was quite proud of his work with AALIYAH...and quite saddened when she died...
This movie rocks. Edgy, raw and sexy. I've got the DVD and enjoy watching from time to time. On another note, the vampire film that I liked the most is "30 Days Of Night."
Cant believe she was in my hometown filming the movie back in 1999/2000. I was like literally 15min walk from the film set and my house at the time. Some scenes filmed in a biscuit factory near me, melbourne australia.
SOMEBODY USED HER CATWALK OUT THE BAR IN A MADE VIDEO FOR "WHAT IF" THAT WAS ON HER LAST CD "AALIYAH". IT IS REALLY GOOD THEY DID HER JUSTICE.💙💙👑👑🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯💯
most people don't know she died before finishing this movie. She was supposed to have more scene. The end was actually supposed to be the middle. I am so upset she didn't to finished the movie and watch it. I wish life allow her at least to enjoy watching her project before taking her away. RIP baby girl. You are forever missed.
Really love seeing her in her element. And too see her shine. The look Aaliyah gave as Akasha to Jessie at 3:40 was like "ich, don't call my man" 😆 Love this so much. Thanks for sharing. Will miss Aaliyah for as long as I live. 💜
I really liked this movie!! I was in Junior HS and went to see it my friends. Even now its still good the actors were on point 👌🏼 and Aaliyah looks beautiful
It's a pity women like her dont exist in the real world, i would serve such a queen in both life and death R.I.P Aaliyah my gorgeous queen of the damned
+Potato Chip Jones try metaphor, its being used alot nowadays in the modern world, awww poor little potato chip has been living under a rock, no wonder youre still in love with aaliyah
Sucks this movie could've been so much better I don't blame aaliyah cause she was perfect. Wrong Lestat casting and horrible director... Anne Rice was probably sickened
I agree with you they casted the wrong lesat Stuart Townsend did not play him well .He kept changing the accent which was confusing and was miming in the concert. Aaliyah played the villain brilliantly
Love this movie so much ...when I was 2 I would ask my mom if we could watch " come out come out wherever you are" and she would put it on and I'd get too into it. Still love it to this day !!!! Aaliyah was an amazing actress.

That’s hard to say because it’s not just her acting but also the film that she was in. I think at some point, if she was given a role where she could stretch her acting muscles and tap into her inner thespian, she couldve. No doubt that for the movies she did appear in, she was very good.

i just realised if lauren london was slimmer she could really play aaliyah. they both have that smile and those dimples
the aaliyah movie would have been way better then
Aaliyah dont have dimples what u watching
Marquis Bryant true ....they both have gorgeous smiles , even though Lauren's dimples are mad deep . Aaliyah's are a bit more subtle
shawna winfield yes she does lol
G G i see it now she have small ones lmao. They look like twins hell nah im leaving thats scary...
Really love seeing her in her element. And too see her shine. The look Aaliyah gave as Akasha to Jessie at 3:40 was like "ich, don't call my man" 😆
Love this so much. Thanks for sharing. Will miss Aaliyah for as long as I live. 💜
Aaliyah is sooo beautiful !!! I wish she was still here. Rest In Peace sweet beautiful black Angel
I really liked this movie!! I was in Junior HS and went to see it my friends. Even now its still good the actors were on point 👌🏼 and Aaliyah looks beautiful
Very nice upload. A lot of that wasn't in the behind the scenes of the DVD so thanks for the upload. Great quality.
They shot this scene in Cambodia ancient temples name Ta Prom and Angelina Jolie movie's tome raiders too
Her voice was soo soothing. and her calm spirit was just so relaxes you ❤❤❤ love you baby girl!!!❤❤❤ Always and forever ♥️
Omg I loved her in Queen Of The Damed! I remember going to the movies when it came out.
Awww... We miss you baby girl. You were so gorgeous and talented.
She was so pretty and her voice is so soothing. It’s soft but with confidence and charisma
what a beautiful and talented woman she was...
beauty and poise , too much greatness
FYI Grace Jones (Vamp) and Aaliyah (QotD) definitely play the best vampire queens ever...
lolz damn that look like that hurted hittin her against the wall lolz
No kidding!
That isht looked like it hurt ...hope those columns were made of foam
It's a pity women like her dont exist in the real world, i would serve such a queen in both life and death
R.I.P Aaliyah my gorgeous queen of the damned
Aaliyah will forever be my dream girl. No other girl competes with her.
Shed eat you before you could even say pot roast
tastetheway youbleed That makes absolutely no sense.
+Potato Chip Jones try metaphor, its being used alot nowadays in the modern world, awww poor little potato chip has been living under a rock, no wonder youre still in love with aaliyah
tastetheway youbleed The fact that you can't even explain the metaphor you just used is hilarious. Fucking imbecile.
She was the only memorable thing in that movie. Akasha's dance at the bar was the best thing about the whole project
Acting is actually really awkward
With the mic hovering over you I don't see how actors are able to get into character.
oh it's beautiful. It's a state of mind
this is my favorite movie 🎥 Aaliyah is my favorite. singer and actress queen of damned is one of my favorite movies.
Thats exactly how it is while filming any movie or show, (no music , or cuts yet) its always quiet and a bit awkward without everything else on top
Weird and slow lol
Damn she can act and sing and dance , beyonce can dance and sing but she cant act for shit
Yeah beyonce cant act for nothing to save her life
Shawn Love She sure can't!
Shekita Hicks Beyonce's a good actress, but not as good as Aaliyah. They were both born with it.
I laughed my ass off...no 1 comment and no she can't for shit,idc what nobody else thinks and that's why she ain't win nada for dream girls,smh.
Pretty much. Debbie Gabriel
Aaliyah 2019 anyone ?
ughhh she was amazing watched a few vids of her today & I just fell in love with her what a beautiful personality she had.
3:43-3:50 the eye roll is my favorite💔🕊
Miss you its been 13 years since she's left us I was in high school hurt my heart Rest In Peace my queen Aaliyah 1979-2001
Love her multi talented babygirl rip ♡♥♡♥.she so cute and beautiful. Young beauty
She was and is perfect.
Sucks this movie could've been so much better I don't blame aaliyah cause she was perfect. Wrong Lestat casting and horrible director... Anne Rice was probably sickened
I agree with you they casted the wrong lesat Stuart Townsend did not play him well .He kept changing the accent which was confusing and was miming in the concert. Aaliyah played the villain brilliantly
yeah. The movie should have been better. Aaliyah kicked ass.
Aaliyah was on her way to a new direction in her life, a good person gone way to soon☹️
I love aaliyah it's sad that she had to die
Love this movie so much ...when I was 2 I would ask my mom if we could watch " come out come out wherever you are" and she would put it on and I'd get too into it. Still love it to this day !!!! Aaliyah was an amazing actress.
The role was made for her.
daaayum, thanks for the upload!
My God, she is absolutely gorgeous. Articulate, stunningly beautiful... you get such an elegant vibe off of her.
love this movie so much I get a urge to watch it ever few years. her character is so perfect
She owned that role
Beautiful, talented music artist, dancer & AWSOME Actress!!!!😍😘🔥🔥🔥All the things she loved. You are truly amazing & dearly missed!😓😓😇👑
